Fair point. But to be fair, there was WAY more participation in this series of posts compared to that one poll.

Not really, there are several examples and you just have to search for those polls

For example, this one has more than twice as many participants as the one in this post and Lucy won by a fairly considerable difference.

Which happens when they ask for the best written and developed character. The beauty polls will always be close between Lucy and Erza, sometimes Lucy will win and sometimes Erza will win. Just two months ago Lucy won a poll in that type of post, and no one was exaggerating something that is completely expected.

Honestly, this kind of thing makes me want to do a more in-depth post on this subject.

Something like... "Shōnen Writing, Shipping Culture, and why Lucy Heartfilia is Mid"

[u/Traditional-Lion-836 → u/[deleted]]

why Lucy Heartfilia is Mid

With the big difference that she isn't, otherwise you wouldn't have a ton of people supporting her, saying she's the best character and praising the way she's written and developed.

But why don't you try it and see how that post goes? I mean, that would be fun to see how practically no one would support you in that.

[u/[deleted] → u/Traditional-Lion-836]

I should probably post it on r/unpopularopinion then, shouldn't I?

But in all seriousness, fandoms historically have a bad track record for recognizing bad writing, especially when it comes to shipping. Just look at the people who shipped ReyLo back when Rise of Skywalker made its rounds.

Dude, Gray is my fav character but Lucy is definitely way better written than him lmao

[u/akari0413 → u/[deleted]]

Bro, stop

Lucy is the best character written by Mashima and many people agree with that.

Also

No, the entire guild is not the main one, don't talk nonsense. There are entire arcs where many characters in the guild don't matter, how would that make the guild the main one? it does not make any sense

Lucy and Natsu are the protagonists, even Mashima and Ueda have talked about it not long ago.

I'm sorry but Lucy is the better written and developed and many people agree with that.

Kiddo if that’s your takeaway from that you might be lacking quite a bit of prefrontal development or you have some atrophy goin on there.

No, I'm fine, calm down. They are the mangaka and the artist's own words. Again, if you think that the guild is the protagonist, I'm sorry but the reality is that they are Natsu and Lucy. said in the manga (natsu) and by mashima and ueda (lucy)

By the way, I recommend you think about what you write before sending the message.

Because many people agree on something doesn’t make it right, because people can be dumb like anti-vaxxers. The whole story is about the bonds in the guild hence the guild is the main character

So you're the basic guy who believes he's right, why does he believe that? sad bro. Do you want us to do a poll right now about Lucy vs Gray and Lucy vs Juvia and ask people which character is better written and developed?

Try it please

[u/akari0413 → u/[deleted]]

It doesn't change the fact that the majority thinks something, Gray is not at all currently considered a good character, if you believe that, ok. but Lucy is much better and that is why in polls people choose her, it is something natural at this point.
